i hate it. its so fucking ugly. everything else about my face is fine. my midface isnt too bad, my features are rather symmetrical, i dont have a super prominent browbone, nose is meh imo but its not awful either. its just my jaw and chin. literally thats it.

i couldve been pretty. i was so close to being pretty. but now ill never be happy with my face. i doubt ffs can even do enough to my lower third tbh. theres a limit to how much bone they can remove after all. idk. i just hate not knowing. i wish i knew what could realistically be done for me. ive tried editing my face in the past, not with faceapp filters or whatever. just manually editing it, trying to be realistic, but i doubt i have been.

not that i could ever afford it anyway. i need to walk around with a bag over my head. wearing 5 layers over my body. then maybe i could look in the mirror without wanting to puke

      ik mine isnt that bad, but this legitimately how it feels. it drags my whole face down and ends it with an ugly square and wide base. i hate it more than anything else about myself tbh

    It can definitely do enough, ive seen people with worse lower thirds than you get them fixed

    Honestly its pretty wild what they can do to the skull, everything except the midface you can really edit a lot

      im just so scared of getting my hopes up too much. barely anyone ever has anything nice to say about my appearance ever, amd it makes it so hard to have any hope

      i can only think of you and maybe 2 other people who consistently have anything good to say about me, and then that makes it harder to believe the good comments are even genuine :(

        If you want to write off me thinking you’re pretty please consider the “crazy weirdo has bizzare tastes in depressed academic women with nice eyes” instead of “lying” ty

        But yeah tempering expectations is good, but its not good to do it so much that you actually start to lose motivation, i’ve seen you, i’ve seen people irl getting ffs, you are not even close to unsalvageable (though recovery might be a bitch idk)

          im sorry, i do try my best to accept compliments. going your entire life only ever getting called handsome by your mother kind of teaches you to not believe them sadly. dysphoria then of course not helping things.

          thank you though. ill keep trying to hold out hope. i cant give up yet anyway.

    I feel you. My lower third of the face is just so awful. It can’t be hidden by anything and as you said there’s limits on how much bone can be removed. I wish I realized earlier because I was so pretty before puberty which deformed my lowerd third of the face so fucking bad to the point that it’s impossible to fix

        Same but it got worse with age. Like at 15 I had square jawline but at least the height wasn’t that long, it got worse by age 19-20 when it got so bad that it wasn’t fixable anymore
